(a) A Kansas education opportunity scholarship shall provide for payment to a Kansas education opportunity scholar of an amount in each academic year not to exceed an amount equal to 75% of the average amount of the total tuition and required fees of full-time, in-state students. A Kansas education opportunity scholar may receive a Kansas education opportunity scholarship for not more than eight semesters of undergraduate study or the equivalent thereof, except that a Kansas education opportunity scholar may receive a Kansas education opportunity scholarship for not more than an additional two semesters of study or the equivalent thereof when the requirements of the program in which the scholar is enrolled include the completion of a fifth year of study. The state board of regents shall determine the equivalent of a semester when any program period or all or part of the terms for which a Kansas education opportunity scholar is awarded a Kansas education opportunity scholarship are not semesters. (b) A Kansas education opportunity scholar who is also eligible to receive a Kansas comprehensive grant or a state scholarship may be awarded such grant or scholarship, or both, in addition to a Kansas education opportunity scholarship. In no event shall the amount awarded to a Kansas education opportunity scholar under a Kansas education opportunity scholarship or the total of any amounts awarded thereunder and under a state scholarship or a Kansas comprehensive grant, or both, exceed an amount equal to the amount of the scholar's financial need for the period.
